Share location on WhatsApp
One of the features that WhatsApp allows is the ability to share your location, which is especially useful for local businesses. If you are at a location or want to share a point of interest, simply select the clip, as if you were sending a picture, and click on “Location”.
Then, a series of businesses or points of interest vietnam phone number near your geolocation will appear. In this case, the map that appears is not Google's, it is a map that extracts data from the FourSquare directory, the social network of "local mayors' offices", which has been in disuse for more than 10 years.
Therefore, if you want your business to appear on the map when sharing the location via WhatsApp, you need it to be on FourSquare and in this article we are going to teach you how to register a local business in the FourSquare directory.
But first, let’s learn a little more about FourSquare…
FourSquare App
What is FourSquare and what is it used for?
FourSquare is a platform focused on geolocating users at points of interest, mainly local businesses.
It was launched in 2008 and quickly expanded to millions of users around the world who checked in at all kinds of locations, from highly touristic areas to remote corners in rural areas.
If a user checked in multiple times at the same place, they became the “virtual mayor” of that space, the badge rewarded by the app, a purely digital award with no real value.
